Terrence Stephens, Quince Orchard

Terrence Stephens, Quince Orchard

This week's Recruiting Spotlight features reporter B.J. Koubaroulis sitting down with Quince Orchard's Terrence Stephens, a 6-foot-2, 285-pound defensive lineman with offers from Maryland, Nebraska, Stanford, West Virginia, Syracuse, N.C. State, Connecticut and Penn State. Stephens, a talented singer, was cut in the early rounds of Fox's American Idol, allowing him to focus on the football field, where the All-Met helped Quince Orchard (14-0) to a state championship and the Post's No. 1 ranking by terrorizing quarterbacks with 10.5 sacks, 56 tackles and two interceptions. Stephens placed second in the Maryland 285-pound state wrestling finals furthering his transformation from a once soft ninth-grader that football coach Dave Mencarini nicknamed "pillow."
